Red Beans & Rice with Andouille Sausage

By:

Ingredients
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt, divided
  • Parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • 1 cup dried red beans, soaked and drained
  • 1 lb. cooked, sliced andouille sausage
  • 2 stalks celery rib, sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
Instructions
  • Add the rice, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 1/2 cups of water to the Instant Pot's inner pot and stir. Secure the lid, ensuring the valve is turned to the Sealing position. Select the Rice button. The timer will self-calculate.
  • Once cooking is complete, turn the valve to the Venting position to release the pressure. When all the pressure is released, carefully remove the lid. Fluff the rice with a fork. Transfer the rice to a large bowl, garnish with parsley, and set aside. Wash and dry the inner pot.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients plus 3 cups water to the inner pot and stir well. Secure the lid, ensuring the valve is turned to the Sealing position. Press the Pressure Cook button and set the time to 45 minutes.
  • Once cooking is complete, allow the appliance to natural release for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn the valve to the Venting position to release the pressure.
  • When all the pressure is released, carefully remove the lid and stir well. Serve the bean/sausage mixture and rice either separately or combined.
